Set Steam Launch Options

Navigate to your Steam installation (by default this is located at C:\Program Files\Steam)

Right-click on Steam.exe (this file is listed as an application and features the black and white Steam logo) and select Create Shortcut

Right-click on the new shortcut and go to Properties

Select the Shortcut tab

In the Target: field add the launch options which you would like to use after the Steam.exe location (make sure to separate all launch options with a space - For example, " -launchoption1 -launchoption2")

Options to Use

-tcp - Launches Steam with the TCP protocol rather than the UDP protocol

-clearbeta - If you have opted into a Steam client public beta, opts out and returns Steam to the current official release.

-silent - Launches Steam to the system tray only. Normal Steam windows will only appear after clicking the system tray icon. If a password is not stored, the normal login window will still be displayed.

Please be sure to take adequate precautions to ensure that no one else has access to view your password when it is saved in a shortcut.
